Alabama fans are used to shelling out big bucks to see their team live and in person but the cost of attending the Crimson Tide's games this season may reach a new all-time high, according to a report from ESPN's Darren Rovell. On his list of the ten most expensive tickets in college football for the 2012 season, Rovell lists three games featuring the Crimson Tide, including the November 3 game against LSU in Baton Rouge which boasts the single most expensive ticket in college football this season.

The ticket prices are based on secondary market value (better known as the "street value") and it appears that Alabama fans are willing to push that value higher than any other fanbase in America to get their tickets.

Alabama-LSU tickets are currently valued at $632.71, according to the report, while Alabama's season opener against Michigan (ranking at No. 2 on the list) boasts a ticket value of $595.42.

The Iron Bowl, which will be held in Tuscaloosa this year, comes in at No. 5 on the list with tickets going for an average of $481.66.

Alabama's average listed ticket price for 2012 is $205, giving the Crimson Tide the fifth-most expensive average ticket price this season.

Not surprisingly, the SEC ranks first among all conferences with an average ticket price of $139.71.
